My Job

I am a trained accountant, I'd say at one time I was highly trained, but my brain has been atrophying at an alarming rate, so now I am just trained.  On my business cards it says I am Big White Ski Resorts Controller/Human Resources.  In reality I do the following...controller type duties like financial statement preparation for the six different companies, bank reporting on a consolidated basis with our sister resort, cash flow analysis, budgeting, departmental reporting budget vs actuals, payroll review blah blah blah. 

The other duties can be very interesting.  They include things like general office management - keeping the reception desk manned (which can be surprisingly challenging), the mail coming in and going out (my office is the post office for the resort - at Christmas you could barely see the door.), handing out staff t-shirts and hats, coordinating cell phones and business cards, and making sure staff name tags are ordered correctly.

A big part of my work life right now is Staff Accommodation crap.  There have been 152 people in staff accom this year - 53 have moved out - and half of them are immature children who haven't figured out that mommy isn't here to pick up after them.  I pity their roommates.  In the next 2 weeks they all will move out and leave behind mountains of stuff.  Last year the sorted clothing filled our 8 x 10 trailer 2 bags high, an equal amount is simply garbage.

I am also working on planning the season ender bender (or staff BBQ as it's officially known)  400+ drunk kids golfing - yeah!  Thankfully I have a bunch of other managers that pitch in and help - cause otherwise it would be enough to drive me to drink.

I really love my Job!
